Re: [boost] Boost License Issues

Since the issue of licenses has come up again, I'd like to ask a question 
about the license requirements.  The third listed item is,

"Must require that the license appear on all copies of the software 
source code."

Is this a misprint?  Should "must" be "may"?  As it stands, this implies 
that Boost library submissions will be rejected if they are simply placed 
into the public domain, wholly unrestricted.  I can't think of any good 
reason for such a policy.
